Sara - i have looked up a few websites and it looks like arcane seems the way to go.

Mage specs 3.2 and rotations -- if u type tht into google - it should come up with the relavent help tht is needed - as for gear am gonan set up a ten man naxx sometime this week hopefully some of our higher geared peeps will come and make it a one night clear.

yeah, i looked up a few specs and most of them went Fire/Arcane. good dps, though weak in other aspects i got used to. Especially vulnerability compared to a mage with IceArmor, etc.Guess i will have to get used to the arcane way of playing until my dual spec has enough crit.
